During small SW groups I assigned parents to play board games with their children to work on good sportsmanship and https://padlet.com/michellefriedman/yjc96l657aar/wish/463277647 2020-03-17 15:03:53 UTC https://padlet.com/michellefriedman/yjc96l657aar/wish/463277647 SEL at Home jessica_weiss1 https://padlet.com/michellefriedman/yjc96l657aar/wish/463318971 I was thinking about having the kids give mini tours of their homes and share a few things in their homes that are important to them. They could create videos on SeeSaw or FlipGrid to share with their classmates and then all students should watch & respond to 5. This is a great way to learn about each other in our home environments and get to know the kids on a different level. These are like virtual home visits :) I think seeing students in their home environments is a powerful tool we can use as teachers!]]> 2020-03-17 15:32:40 UTC https://padlet.com/michellefriedman/yjc96l657aar/wish/463318971 First grade has been having fun....They watched a sesame street about the power of yet and reflected in a seesaw activity....They'll be using flipgrid to share how they feel about e-learning...watch storybots on youtube and talk with someone (or pet or stuffed toy) about their feelings....watch a youtube video about helping at home and create a plan using a seesaw activity about helping lauradoerre https://padlet.com/michellefriedman/yjc96l657aar/wish/463337727 2020-03-17 15:46:09 UTC https://padlet.com/michellefriedman/yjc96l657aar/wish/463337727 SEL amykohl https://padlet.com/michellefriedman/yjc96l657aar/wish/463356085 Students have been participating in interactive activities on SeeSaw.

  1. Watch this video on conversations (We had a Second Steps lessons on conversations, but this is a review.)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjBO1bONqgc
  2. Make a phone call to a family member. You can call a grandparent, great-aunt, uncle or any other family member you wish to call. As you have a conversation with a family member be prepared with a few questions to ask them. For instance, you could ask them what would you do after school when you were a kid? How would you communicate with your family or friends without a cell phone? What was your favorite thing to do when you were 9-10 years old? Where did you grow up? Did you have any chores to do at home? Let them share some stories about their childhood.
  3. Write down stories and details that a family member is sharing with you. Writing down notes will help you compare and contrast when they were 9-10 years old compared to your life as a 9-10 years old. 
  4. Lastly, complete  the digital venn diagram about the differences and similarities of your life and your family members life when they were your age. Then post a video or recording on SeeSaw about what you learned and how life was the same and different years ago compared to today.

Then I attached a meditation video to watch and do in the fort. I had a mom tell me her child loved hearing his classmates voices on seesaw. I love your idea Jess. I may do something like that too. I also did a seesaw feelings check in. https://padlet.com/michellefriedman/yjc96l657aar/wish/464429635 Build And Design a fort. What materials did you use? How did you make the sides? What did you use for a roof? Try some calming activities inside your fort.
